Elizabeth May, Leader of the Green Party of Canada and Member of Parliament for Saanich-Gulf Islands, will be reading from and signing her latest book, Who We Are: Reflections on My Life and Canada.
This book is an argument for our future, the future of our children, and our grandchildren and generations beyond. It is about how diminished democracy undermines our best hope to avoid the worsening of the climate crisis, accelerating to threaten human civilization itself. It is a book about how we can make a difference.
In this marriage of memoir and manifesto, Elizabeth provides personal perspectives on her approach to politics, policy, and what it means to be Canadian.
When: Friday, November 14, 2014 at 3 pm
Where: The Old Firehouse Wine Bar, 40 Ingram St, Duncan, BC
Books will be available for purchase.

“Democracy cannot function if the power of debate is not valued. Elizabeth May’s contribution to many of Canada’s great debates is one that all of us should recognize. As the environment becomes an ever more pressing global issue, our country’s ability to tackle the challenges of climate change will rely on a healthy democracy – and in this book, Elizabeth makes a strong case for why and how Canada must step up.”
- The Right Honourable Paul Martin, former Prime Minister of Canada
